Question

The child has been crying and not eating much lately. Can the baby take Longjiao San?

Answer

For coughs caused by common colds where medication is not effective, dietary remedies can be adopted, such as pear soup with rock sugar, almond radish soup with pork lung, which are quite effective. It is recommended to drink more water. If the sunlight is not good or there is less of it, or if the baby is artificially fed, calcium supplementation should start from when the baby is a month old and continue until around 2 or 3 years old. Three months ago, it was common for children to supplement cod liver oil and for mothers to supplement calcium. It is recommended that children take Icodin orally and mothers take Caltrate D. After three months, children can also be supplemented with calcium and cod liver oil appropriately.
